Belloc Central

Belloc Central is a summit in the Pyrenees that straddles two departments in southwestern France. The peak consists of granodiorite rock and rises as part of the surrounding mountain system with various approach routes available.

The summit has marked the boundary between two French departments since the late 1700s. This natural border has defined the territorial limits of the region for generations.

Local mountaineering groups maintain detailed records of climbing routes and seasonal conditions, contributing to the region's mountain sports documentation.

Hikers need sturdy mountain boots and should check weather conditions before setting out, as conditions change quickly at altitude. The climb demands good physical fitness and is best done during stable weather periods.

The granodiorite formations on the northern face display striking natural patterns created by weathering over time. These geological features tell the story of mountain building in the Pyrenees.
